Tuesday we had the Christmas conference as a mission. It was so fun. I won't go into details but it was awesome. I got a t-shirt and some socks and other things. The Koster's are the best.
Wednesday we visited a member to help them work out some things and we were given Hershey's candy and Welch's fruit snacks because they have a family member that sent it from America, a great thing from home. We were able to give a baptismal date to some great investigators.
Thursday we helped some investigators with the forms for marriage. These investigators are inspiring. They are doing all they can and really acting in faith so they can be baptized and achieve their ultimate goal of being sealed. They are awesome and it was so great to be able to help them. We also have some relatively new investigators that had many questions about the Book of Mormon and I really felt the spirit as we testified to them. That book is so true and I am so thankful for it. It is a gift from God. Then we were able to teach this great part member that is so humble and the family is awesome. We are really excited for them.
Friday we taught some great lessons and had some things happen with investigators that was sad. I won't go into details but its OK because we see the Lord blessing us in so many ways and really helping the area. Everyone has their own time.
Saturday we had the branch Christmas party. We really tried to get people there so they could meet members and be more comfortable coming to church on Sunday.The plan worked, we had a ton of people come, members and non members.
Sunday we had a ton of investigators come which was so awesome! We had people come that we were not expecting. So many miracles. We also had very high attendance overall for sacrament meeting, it was great. Another great part of Sunday was that we taught this part member family and the dad who is a member told us stories about tithing. I know that this family could easily use the funds the pay for tithing but they pay faithfully and he told us magnificent stories of the Lord's promises being fulfilled over and over again. He doesn't just pay tithing he pays offerings too and I can see them being blessed. I encourage anyone to always pay tithing and to pay a generous fast offering. It's not about money its about faith and the Lord will open the windows of heaven upon you.
Also a great moment happened. There was this family that is expecting a baby and the branch gave them a Christmas gift of diapers and stuff and the look on the dad's face was priceless. I will never forget it. This is such a good time to give and it's great seeing someones face light up. I hope you all have a great week. love you all
